On the Vigil of the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, June 28 2005 Archbishop Barry
James Hickey dedicated the “Redemptoris Mater” Chapel before a large assembly of
the Faithful representing all sections of the Catholic Church of Perth. The Rite
of Dedication is similar to the Rite of Baptism, because the Chapel represents the
living Church, the followers of Christ who in their own Baptism were consecrated
to Christ and made Priests, Prophets and Kings. In the Liturgy, were the Baptismal
symbols of water, light, incense, clothing with the white cloth and the anointing
with oil. The Relics of Saints and a Blessed were inserted in the Altar. The Liturgy
concluded with the celebration of the Eucharist.
